  1. But the secret that nobody has noticed is that “sudoku” sounds like “u-code-us” backwards ... muahaha!!!

  2. Probably the most interesting guy ever to be named Claude. ;)

  3. 5:55 Do Americans have trouble distinguishing between a “parity check” and a “parody check”? Otherwise you couldn’t be sure if someone was making fun of you ... even if it was done in an odd way ... or, oddly, if it was being done evenly ...

  4. Eeeeuuhhhh ... ... but then again, crabs do that. Also, I just recently noticed there were 3 blue ones and 1 brown one.

  5. If DNA had a more robust copying system, evolution wouldn’t happen.

  6.  @jared_bowden  No, I think the double helix is part of the replication mechanism. For example, PCR only works on DNA, not RNA. So the SARS-CoV-2 virus test involves retrotranscription of the traces of viral RNA to DNA before it can be amplified via PCR to detectable levels. The redundancy in the genetic code comes from having 64 different symbols code for just 20 different amino acids.

  7. Maybe you are thinking of the concept of “Hamming distance”?
